error: linux/raw.h present but unusable

[Gerald Preissler]

Hi there,

on my Gentoo-box I get the following error when emerging kdebase:

--8<--cut
checking linux/raw.h usability... no
checking linux/raw.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: linux/raw.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: linux/raw.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: linux/raw.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to address@hidden ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
checking for linux/raw.h... yes
checking sys/raw.h usability... yes
--8=--cut

linux/raw.h seems to be located at

/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r9/include/linux/raw.h

The compile later ends with an error message

--8<--cut
make[1]: Entering directory

No idea if the two are related.

If you want to look into it and need more information about my config, drop me 
a line and tell me what you need.
